building. She was an amateur, it
happened, and no breadwinner; they
both managed to turn out some very
good work. and each was often Of as
sstance to the other.
One fno morning in early summer
Miss Maud-whose surname was Satter-
lee entered her studio with slight
shadow on her high Bred rose fair
lace. Her companion, charming bru-

looking amused. Miss Fortescue was

Maud had only a father. who was in

Miss Maud frightened.

She tossed herself down on the STUDIO

Miss Fortescue reflected.
There's the banana man-the Ital-

contemptuously.

TO spend the summer in town. A little
provincial, you know, but of good fam

Maud assented langu dly. But when
the young stranger entered with Nc
Allister she sat up suddenly like one
revived.
Mr.. Godfrey Waring was large and
tall. He was sunburned and had
longish, light brown hair and pale blue
eyes. A nose of good size and long,
clean shaver upper lip were facial pc
culiarities. And Mr.. Godfrey Waring
was blessed with an abundance of con-
fdenco. He gazed about him with
smile of approval, shook hands twice
with the ladies, commented in a clear
high, nasal voice on Maud's work, and
finally departed in state of self COM
placency.
''Fine girls" he remarked to Meal
lister, when back in that gentleman's

startled at the irreverence.

McAllisier gasped. Then his sense
of the humorous prevailed. He an
swered dryly:
''Ahem! l shouldn't wonder Miss
Satterlee had her eyes on you all the

Wouldn't mind having her if nv
family didn't object" remarked God
frey, with reflective little click of the
tongue against his teeth.
As for the young ladies, they had
preserved silence until their callers
were out of hearing range.
Then Miss Satterlee exclaimed:
